NEW YORK STYLES,
Velvet Underskirts and Costly striped Dres,
StufYs I'm High Fashion.


Velvet underskirts, both in silk, vel
vet, corduroy and velvetecn, are again
in highest fashion This first skirt
is now not necessarily chosen
Of the same color as the rest
of the costume. Thus with a
day dress of dove-gray camel's hair
there is skirt of rich golden-brown
velvet. The back breadth of the cam
els hair drapery falls in straight folds
nearly to the foot of the velvet skirt,
and is trimmed perpendicularly with
bands of canvas-patterned wooden
braid. On the right side the drapery
is continuous and is looped up, but on
the left side it is separated entirely, ex-
posing the velvet skirt, and with bands
Of the braid set on each side from top
TO bottom. The corsage, which is sep
arate from the skirt, has two wide re-
rers of velvet like that of the under
skirt, and within these rerers are bands
of the woolen braid with a single row of
wooden lace each side, the scalloped
edges of which meet down the front,
forming narrow plastron. A pretty
trimming on the wrists of the sleeves
is arranged to correspond with this
decoration.
In dress stuffs the demand for stripes
is still on the increase. Very beautiful
Lyons fabrics of this description are
displayed in the windows of an i'm
porter widely famed for the uncommon
richness and variety of his superb dress
materials. Regal fabrics of velvet-em-
bossed satin are woven with alternate
stripes of plain silk plush eight and ten
inches in width. One design shows
ground of palest canary-colored corded
silk, brocaded with arabesques in
heavy raised design of mauve velvet,
with stripe of plain mauve velvet al
ternating. A white satin and gold
brocade stripe upon another pattern al
ternates with one of deep orange yellow
plush. A heavy black faille, striped
with satin and velvet brocade on pale
chamois and superb shade in Neapol-
itan cardinal. Some magnificent satin
brocades are also displayed, showing
designs of an exquisitly delicate tint,
on deep-toned grounds, some OF which
copy the patterns of Henri Deux Guip-
ures to perfection. These lace pattern
textiles are one of the features of the
season upon which many variations are
executed. IN y Post.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
The Hesthenish Origin Of Modern and
Delightful Christian Custom.

The Heathenish Origin OF q Modern and
Delightful Christian Custom.
The Christmas is not properly
Christian tree at all, but heather one.
1t does not belong by right to any other
European families than those of Ger
manic and Scandinavian origin. Celu
and Slavs and Latins knew nothing Of
il, and if it has found its way into
France and Italy, even into England, il
is an importation. The Christmas tree
was certainly unknown to our fore
fathers. The writer remembers when
his parents, who had spent many win.
ters in Germany. first introduced it,
some forty-five years ago. into England,
what astonishment it created, what sur.
prised delight it afforded. The relic Of
the Christmas tree with us is the ash
fagot The Germans when they ac-
cepted Christianity brought the yuls
tree into their new religion and gave u
a new signifcation. The missionaries
to the Anglo-Saxons denounced it and
made;very good Catholics hack the idol
atrous symbol in pieces and burn it al
Christmas, in token that the Holy
Child had destroyed heathenism.
Among the Scandinavians, and prob
ably the Anglo-Saxons, the ash was the
sacred tree, Yggdrasill, the world-tree.
was, according to the "Edda, an ash
with three roots-one in heaven, one in
hell and one on earth. On the tree
branches sat an eagle, along them ran
a squirrel, and about its roots, gnawing
into them, was coiled a great serpent.
The serpent and eagle are ever in strife,
says the younger "Edda," and the
squirrel runs between them trying to
make peace. But probably the sacred
tree among the Germans was pine.
Tacitus speaks in his annals of tem-
pie that the Marsil, a mid-German race.
called Tafana-i. e. tanunl tanG, made
to resemble the earth. Tame is pine
tree, and the words of Tacitus have
been supposed to refer to sacred in-
closure about monstrous pine dedi-
Gated to the earth-goddess. In one Of
the Wartburg Minnesinger's lays we
have lines about the world-tree long
after its real meaning was lost.
| gallant tree is growing high,
garden gay adorning;
| Its roots run down TO hell below,
Its crown 10 heaven above doth throw,
! Where God doth sit in golden glow;
! Its branches take the morning;
Its branches spread the whole world through
Distlling mama, dropping dew,
| And birds thereon are singing
Otfried, in the ninth century, sings
of the cross in similar strains, deriving
his ideas from Yggdrasill, which he
translates into the tree of life in the
garden Of the church-the cross. So
also Alcuin, writing among the Franks,
says of the cross: 'lts position is such
that the upper portion reaches the
skies, the lower portion touches the
earth. the root reaches to hell. Its
branches extend to all parts of the
earth. "-C0rnhW Magazine.

A DELIGHTFUL ENTER
TAINMENT.
FRANKLIN INSTITUTE D1NsELY PACE.
ED 10 WITNESS THE EXERCISES
By THE PUPILS.
A Rare, Social, Musical, and Intellectual
Treat.

In District No. 5 of this County
they have school of which the
whole neIghborhood is justly proud.
The Franklin Institute under the
charge Of Miss Lulu MurrelI as prin
cipal and Mrs. NJ. J: Clinton as
assistant has achieved reputation
net inferior to any institution of
lea rning in The county.
The directors Of that district de-
termined to build up a frst>class
school and they succeeded. Miss
MurrelI Is from Bowling Green, Ky,
a thol ough scholar, a refined chris
tan lady and trained teacher who
loves her business. She IS a regular
graduate of the Normal College at
Bowling Green, and familiar with all
the improved methods Of teaching.
Her assistant Mrs. M. J. Clinton is
painstaking, energetic, tn roughly
qualified and beloved by all the
pupils.
On Friday the night 9th May. 9
'bublic exhibition consisting Of ma
sic, recitations and dialogues was
given at the commodious Institute.
Mr. T. d. Clinton acted as master
OF ceremonies.
Long before the exercises openeI
every seat was filled and the audience
was held IN rapt attention thrsugh-
out.
The program was faithfully carried
out The proficiency and thorough
training Of the children was the sub
ject ofgeneral remark. Where all
did so we'll it would be invidious to
make distinction. Parents and visl-
tors were alike astonished at the
skill, case, and grace Of each pupil
Patient study and careful training
enabled them all to perform in mos
credItable manner the difficult
parts assigned them.
Not the least interesting of the
exercises was the CalesthenIc Drill,
which was beautiful and fqultlessly
performed, In addition to the ordi-
nary curriculum, the Bible is taught
in this school; aud by regular
calesthenic training the health and
physical development of the pupils
are fostered as we'll as their mental
and intellectual growth.
There is also connected with the
school a Literary Society III which
the teachers and many OF the ad
vanced pupils take the liveIiest in
terest.
The school directors of this dis
trict deserve great credit for their
successful efforts to provide the neigh
borhood with first-class school, and
we see no reason why the same re-
suit might not be obtained in every
district i'll the county. Nothing
would make our peop'e so contented
and nothing would add so much to
our improvement socially. INTEL
lectually and morally.
